Also, remember that short verbs (''Is'', ''Are'', and ''Do'') and pronouns (''Me'', ''It'', and ''His'') are capitalized. Do not replicate stylized typography in logos and album art, though a redirect may be appropriate (for example, [[=W=eezer]] redirects to [[Weezer]]). | Also, remember that short verbs (''Is'', ''Are'', and ''Do'') and pronouns (''Me'', ''It'', and ''His'') are capitalized.

When necessary, disambiguation should be done using (band), (album), or (song) (such as [[Welcome to Vas Llegas (album)]]; use further disambiguation only when needed (for example [[Mykel and Carli (Black Market Flowers song)]], [[Mykel and Carli (Weezer song)]]. Unless multiple albums of the same name exist, they do not need to be disambiguated any further. For example [[Pinkerton|Pinkerton (Weezer album)]] is unnecessary. Disambiguate albums and songs by artist and not by year unless the artist releases multiple albums with the same name. For Weezer's self-titled albums, Weezerpedia differentiates by the color of their album artwork. For exmaple: ''[[Weezer (The Blue Album)]]'' and ''[[Weezer (The Green Album)]]''. When a track is not strictly a song (in other words a composition without lyrics, or an instrumental that is not a cover of a song), disambiguation should be done using (composition) or (instrumental). | When necessary, disambiguation should be done using (band), (album), or (song) (such as [[Welcome to Vas Llegas (album)]]; use further disambiguation only when needed (for example [[Mykel and Carli (Black Market Flowers song)]], [[Mykel and Carli (Weezer song)]].

When a person is first mentioned in an article, their full names should be used. Further mentions should be abbreviated to surname only. An exception to this rule would be when distinguishing between multiple people with the same surname (e.g. Rivers and Leaves Cuomo). When using the possessive form of names that end in "s", (e.g. Rivers), a second s should not be added. Add the apostrophe after the original s (e.g. Rivers'). Possessive names can be linked using the Possessive name template (for example, <nowiki>{{ | When a person is first mentioned in an article, their full names should be used.
